[solved]underquoted definition with aclocal

Well, I would like to believe it is a bug but as I am not sure so I prefer to post here my problem:

When triying to generate a aclocal.m4 for building a project with autotools, I got this error:

Code:

pierre[code]$ aclocal
/usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_AALIB
/usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
/usr/share/aclocal/aalib.m4:12:   or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal

I was not able to see what was not correct in the aalib.m4 file.
I am using a ZW 6.4.
Any idea?

I had the same issue with another package.

check your aalib.m4 file

Code:

AC_DEFUN(AM_PATH_AALIB,

this is the line that it complains about, after some googling, seems that the m4 package is a bit more strict, and updates are on the way

in the meantime

Code:

AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_AALIB],

will fix those AC_DEFUN problems it is causing

This affects more than just aalib, also had problems with audiofile and a few others.

You can safely ignore it for now - it's a warning, not an error!

It looks like the bug is still present in 7.0
